tiles at st.mary in the marsh

You can get a glimpse of the beautiful encaustic tiles on the floor of st.mary in the marsh ,by the altar. It looks like there are more under the central carpet, but the patterns are a bit subtle for my level of photography.
I'm hoping to use some of these graphic patterns, or versions of them alongside some patterns from a painted wooden panel on the wall at the other end the church, in another part of the ensemble.
This will be a flat piece of textile with the patterns done in crewel embroidery. After the conversations I had at a curatorial meeting at the church, it seems right that this piece should be on quite fine linen, referencing a piece of domestic furnishing textile.
